Please Help! Formerly An Illegal Immigrant Applying For Settlement Visa

[Arthur Little]

I wouldn't be surprised if you don’t class yourself as a good honest person!!

I can't believe that this forum, which is here to help and support genuine cases of need when you are openly encouraging this person by wishing her luck in obtaining entry to the UK, who has broken all the conditions of her tourist visa, defrauded the government of taxes by working cash in hand, then abused the NHS of valuable time and resources for 9 months and beyond while she had a baby then her boyfriend defrauded the social services for funds while he claimed single parent allowance, this person not only needs banning from the UK but should have been locked up with her boyfriend for tax evasion and fraud. And I bet you will make a false declaration on you application for your settlement Visa.
Although I live in the Philippines I still pay my taxes to the British Government to pay for Illegal immigrants like you to abuse the system, and If I return to the UK I am not allowed medical assistance for 6 months.....As Pete says If I was caught overstaying my Visa I would be thrown in Jail Heavily fined and deported.

More fooled to the British Government for allowing you to just go, or if you want to return making sure you have paid back the debt to the Tax payers and medical services of the UK.
Me personally, I don’t wish you luck I hope they catch up with you...

I think you'll find that nobody here is actually CONDONING any flagrant breach of immigration laws. But what's DONE is done ... and lambasting the person's irresponsible conduct publicly at this late stage, serves no useful purpose. And whilst the vast majority of us are prepared to abide by the rules, there will always be a few people tempted to circumvent the 'System' through sheer force of circumstance ... in the hope they'll "get away with it".

As one of those who have trod the arduous, anxiety-ridden path in order to LEGALLY bring my wife to the United Kingdom, it would've been so easy for me to be judgemental in cases like this one. Rightly or wrongly, however, I felt it wasn't my place to censure ... but rather to offer whatever helpful advice I could to make the best of a very difficult situation for the parties concerned and, in so doing, try to be tolerant of others' misdemeanours.

thank you very much for those who commented on my case. i know that it will be very hard for us but we'll try my best. We have had breach the rules because of circumstances, and we are sorry for that, We want to put everything straight not just to be willing to abide the rules but most importantly for our family to live together legally, peacefully and happily.

to those who were asking what is my daughter's passport, its a filipino passport. that time, we thought that my daughter cannot get british citizenship even though her father is a british citizen because we were not married and was afraid to ask Home Office because our intention is to go home voluntarily and not to be deported, so that we wont face a ban in the UK in our future application.

Hello Donna,,just keep in mind things happen for a reason. Focus and have faith and as Pete said be honest. (it's the best policy)..

Obviously you are not a lawyer Arthur. By offering encouraging to this person knowing her situation you are a conspirator to defraud the Government.
In 1985 a certain Lester Piggott OBE was convicted of tax evasion, stripped of his OBE sentenced to 3years in prison, made to pay the tax and do community service. While I am sure the amounts are not the same as Ms Donna, ask a Doctor how much it costs for 9 months maternity care.
The Law is the Law.
I do hope the people waiting for that essential operation on there 6 month waiting list are as understanding as some of the people on this site, while some illegal is having it for free.
As long as it is your pension, health care, policing that these people are dibbing into then go ahead and offer them sympathy and support, I am sure Ms Donna will be sending you a few quid when you need that operation that is not available on the NHS because they don’t have the resources .
If they wish to be together so much then he should come and stay in the PI….. Oh I forgot that would mean paying for everything and they only want to sponge of others
With a bit of luck she should be able to get back into the UK in time to put the Daughter in for free day care, and later free education.
Don’t get me wrong I wish everyone who is applying to be with there loved one and going about it in the right way the very best of luck, and they need it, because the system is being abused so much that the government keep making things harder, although I feel its to little to late.

It Is our duty to protect the right of every British Citizen against anyone that is breaking the law, not to protect those that are breaking the law.
